It was an impressive bowling effort from the Lucknow Super Giants as they restricted the Delhi Capitals to 149/3 in 20 overs at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. DC made a bright start to the game with Prithvi Shaw smashing the bowlers all around the park en route his 61 off just 34 balls. However, DC's innings faltered after his dismissal as Ravi Bishnoi struck twice (2/22), while Krishnappa Gowtham also bowled impressively on his maiden outing for LSG (1/23) to keep the brisk run-scoring at bay. After Warner (4) and Powell (3) were dismissed in quick succession, Rishabh Pant (39*) and Sarfaraz Khan (36*) remained unbeaten to steer DC to a respectable score.
More of a review taken in desperation. De Kock goes for a reverse sweep but fails to get the bat in the line. The ball deflects off his gloves and there's a half-hearted LBW appeal. Pant takes the review, as DC lose their first.
And KL Rahul welcomes him with a towering six wide of long-on. Short from the left-armer Kuldeep and Rahul makes space, and pulls it away brilliantly.
Tight from Axar Patel but what DC need here is a wicket. And perhaps some quick ones following the breakthrough.
